  1. Thanks for the plugin it gave me reason to jump back to Unraid.
  2. Trying to get steamcachebundle to work over here, it downloads fine and downloads again, and again... Seems to do that without an issue, just fails to serve anything back. Anyone else run into this issue?
  3. Quick Update: Sat down and played Ark Survival Evolved for 1 1/2 hours, this box also host the Ark server (10 people playing), the gaming VM, and a standard VM. Currently the ambient temperature in my room is 27c, so I think the coolers work well.
  4. First off sorry for the late reply the last few nights have been hectic. The issue I am having now is getting OS X working in a VM. So for the temps I measure my heat with an infrared thermometer, checking cpu, gpu, ram, places of air flow etc… This is less than ideal, so looking at a more permanent solution, however, air exhausting the case is only 33c. IPMI plugin is something I am messing with, but its not reporting all temperatures. To clean the old thermal paste off I used alcohol and cotton swabs. They are 92mm, I purchased them from amazon, link below. Again apologies for the late response Ill try to be more timely next time. http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooler-LGA2011-Platforms-NH-U9DXi4/dp/B00E1JGFA0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01
  5. Noctua i4 came in today. Took some time to clean everything up and mounted the coolers. Pictures removed, will post again when resized. See gallery at
  6. Server reset in 10 min / ???10? Apologies for the slow updates, finally got the board in (shipped to japan, apo system is so slow sometime), rest of the parts are slowly on their way (PSU, CPU coolers, fans, case etc…). It is currently setup on the desk as a temp solution so I can run some stress test, want to avoid prime 95 till I get cpu coolers. Initially I was set on the R5 however once the package arrived I realized it was not going to fit. Which isn't so bad because since i never purchased a second one. I went back to the post and re read it, the one where a guy said he got an EEB sized board in there. On my third re-read I realized it was a CEB board. Ohh well, so now I am back to case shopping, looking at the Design XL R2, just need to add a mount or two to make it fit. So I mess around with a lot of things other than gaming, some not requiring a lot of resources (random vms for things around the house), others take a lot (encoding video collections/aiding friends/co workers). On the gaming aspect I know more isn’t always better and sometimes its worse, but maybe one day they will wake up and start developing multi threaded games. In the end if I take to much of a hit I will just go back to my gaming computer and make this the new nas/workhorse of the house. Overall I would say this is sort of a test rig right now, I have a co worker who is willing to loan me his hdmi/usb over cat 5 adapters. This way I can try and virtualize my htpc/kids pc, which are located in another part of the house. Trying to go for a one PC for the whole house when I retire and head back to the US.
  7. Evening, Overall what I am looking to build is one server to replace them all and maybe repurpose one or two systems. - Aged Macbook Pro -- Plan to virtualize, looking through OS X VM thread on compatable video card - Ark Dedicated Server/Plex Server -- Plan to virtualize Ark Server -- Plan to run Plex in docker -- Repurpose to HTPC - Freenas Box (3TB Mirrored) -- Restructure shares and copy information off box/move hard drives to new system -- Plan to sell hardware - Gaming PC -- Plan to virtualize -- Plan to repurpose to kids computer Future Hardware/Software: - Unraid -- Of course On order packaged deal from Natex, S2600CP w/ dual E5-2670 - 4x WD Red 3TB (With 2x additional from Freenas) Planning - Case -- Fractal Design R5 (Love the case) - Cache Drive -- May reuse 2x 64GB drive or buy new - CPU Cooler -- 2x Noctua i4 - KVM switcher -- Either hardware or software (Already own Synergy and enjoy it but causes issues with gaming) - Power supply -- Planning on EVGA Supernova G2 800-1000W - UPS -- Found a few, however most don't ship APO - VM Drive -- Welcome to suggestions. ***Updates*** 14 April 16 - Drilled a few holes and mounted motherboard into Fractal Design XL R2.
